Thanksgiving: The Aftermath
Hey there, folks. Hope everyone had a fine Thanksgiving yesterday (or Thursday, if you're not in the United States) and that you didn't die from turkey overdose or excessive football watching or some other drastically real problem you could have experienced yesterday. Anyway, here's comic strip commentary:

So does this mean that Loweezy or whatever her name is isn't, in fact, a woman? That explains quite a lot, actually.

As someone who has watched the "Star Wars Holiday Special", and owns a bootleg copy, I can honestly say that there is no greater revenge that Ted can have against his parents than making him watch it. For the record, it's not so bad until you get to the part with the holographic circus. Of course, the holographic circus is within the first five minutes.

I would never pay the guy to leave me alone if all his stories are as delightful as the one he's telling now.

All I remember about Moby Dick is that Ishmael was freaked out by Queeqeg, Moby Dick demolished their boat and Ishmael had to use Queeqeg's coffin as a life-raft, Captain Ahab ate some fresh whale-meat, and there was a chapter about Ishmael having a flash-back to some island he went to with whale-bones on it or something. What I'm getting at here is that it's a pretty boring book and far too long. Sorry if opinion's too funky fresh for all you squares.
The Quigmans, 11/27/09
The headless horseman wasn't Ichabod Crane, comic strip. Even if you're not willing to read the story (or even watch the Disney version) then you should at least have the presence of mind to look it up on Wikipedia.
Real Life Adventures, 11/27/09
I'm going to have to protest "Real Life Adventures" "People who play Dungeons and Dragons aren't qualified to reproduce" stand-point. It is a stupid standpoint and I hate it, especially since I play the game on occasion. And I will fight you on this if I have to, comic strip.
Daddy's Home and Nest Heads, 11/27/09
Here, we have two comics about the "Black Friday" phenomenon. While most people (rightfully) believe that the reasons the first comic strip posits is the reason that the day after Thanksgiving is called that, the minor amount of research I've done actually puts the reason "Nest Heads" forth to be the real reason that it's called that. So it's not because consumers act like raving savages, but because businesses are desperately hoping that one day out of the entire year will allow them to actually make a profit.

Does the Nest Heads cartoonist not know that that's really the actual meaning? Because I don't understand how he thought that was a joke otherwise. That's as bad as the Fred Basset I read where the "punchline" was Fred explaining that "ESP" stands for "extra sensory perception." That's exactly what it is! How is that supposed to be funny?
Here's another funny joke:
"Why do they call it Thanksgiving anyway?"
"It's the day we're meant to give thanks."
Hilarious!
Seconding rocketdave - where's the joke, man?
Comments are spot on. How the fuck can 'Nest Heads' cartoonist, editor and publisher not have picked up on it? rocketdave is correct. I would like to see someone re-write a bunch of lame strips and put in what rocketdave suggests. Now THAT would be fucking funny.
HI and Lois example:
Ditto: "Where does the month of August get its name from?"
Mom: "Caeser Augustus"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
